You don't do a very good job explaining yourself, then, because your first
post said "how do you set it?", not "That didn't work, now what?"

The answer is the same though: The OP in this thread has the correct
method for turning on the 30-second skip. If it doesn't work for you,
you're either doing it wrong or you have one of the few models that
doesn't offer it. (I shouldn't have to ask what type of TiVo you have...
it's incumbent upon the person asking for help to give enough information
to give a chance at solving the problem.)

my first post was :

Then you did not follow the instructions as posted. You were not
in play mode. If you were viewing the "now playing" list, that
means you were not viewing a prerecorded program.

"veris and amee young" shaped the electrons to say:

That's not what the instructions say to do.

You have to be watching something, NOT in Now Playing. It only works
while watching a video. You can do it while watching LiveTV or a
recording, but it is usually easier with a recording.

this wrong? would any one happend to know which model it does not supprot?

The Toshiba DVD unit.

Start playing a saved program.
While watching the saved program, press Select Play Select 3 0 Select.
The advance button will now do the 30 second skip.
If you repeat the sequence for enabling 30 second skip, it will be disabled.

I've been following this thread and I still don't see how any of this
does a durn thing. At least not on my unit anyway. I have a Pioneer
Elite DVR-57H. Even when I hear it give the three bell confirmation I
don't see anything happen. Am I supposed to do something else as well,
to make it actually do a 30 second slip?

I've tried it on live TV, on a Playing Now, and on a saved program.
Nothing. Does this only work from a burned disk, because that's the
only thing I haven't tried yet.

Tivo's 30 Second Skip Easter Egg has stopped working. Anyone having this
problem.

This is done for skipping 30 sec block by -



Grab your TiVo remote.

Bring up any recorded program. (You have to be watching a recorded program
rather than "Live TV" in order to enable the feature.)

On your TiVo remote, key in the following sequence:

SELECT PLAY SELECT 30 SELECT

If you've successfully entered the code, you should hear three "bings" in
succession to inform you that you've successfully enabled the 30 second
skip.

Note that any time your TiVo is rebooted (such as after a power outage or a
software update) you'll have to re-enable this feature.

Please share if you have any backdoors ?



TIA
